Compared to the dangerous test of fire, the search for ATBC, a PVC plasticizer, is surprisingly simple.

The next morning of the dead man, before Wei Bao got up, Deng Erxian rushed to report the good news to Wei Gongzi.

"Didn't you sleep all night? The circles under the eyes are black and the eyes are red. Wang Qiuya got up and went to open the door for Deng Erxian.

Deng Erxian couldn't hide his excitement, "I didn't sleep, I was busy doing experiments, I forgot the time, I came to tell Gongzi the good news." ”

"What's the good news?" Wang Qiuya was also a little excited.

Deng Erxian then told PVC about finding the plasticizer ATBC, and she was tantamount to overcoming two plastic problems at once, which took half a century of human beings in the original history.

Wang Qiuya was pleasantly surprised: "In other words, you can not only make plastics, but also erasers, and test seals, right?" ”

Deng Erxian smiled and nodded.

"You wait, I'll go tell Childe!" Wang Qiuya said and turned around and entered the house. If it weren't for such good news, it would not be dangerous, and if it was a major matter, Wang Qiuya would not dare to disturb Wei Bao to wake up naturally.

Because Wei Bao didn't sleep enough, he got up very angry.

Wei Bao was not unhappy this time, and after listening to Wang Qiuya's report, he got up in surprise and went to the door and said to Deng Erxian: "Very good!" I'll be over in half an hour! Congratulations! ”

Deng Erxian was affirmed by the president, and said with a smile: "It's all good guidance from the president, and I haven't done anything." ”

Wei Bao happily thought to himself, I really didn't do anything, right? The ghost knows whether to say that this woman is lucky, or is she really talented, just the superficial information excerpted from the Internet by the three 'keen to cross giants' can also make Deng Erxian make such a major breakthrough and discovery?

Wei Bao knew that the people under him had already opened the door to chemistry now!

It wasn't until the 19th century that humanity began to open the door.

After petroleum processing, synthetic rubber in powder or liquid form is transported to a rubber manufacturing plant.

If you want to use natural rubber, it is troublesome, and the sturdy bulks are brought in, and the workers have to crush and dissolve them first.

Rubber is mixed with ground pumice powder, iron oxides, vegetable oil, sulfur and other substances. Heating the mixture causes the sulfur to mix with the rubber to increase the strength of the rubber and make it more durable.

The soft, still hot raw material is fed into a press and squeezed into a die to make a long, thin rubber stick.

Then use a knife to cut the rubber stick into small pieces, wait until it cools, open the mold, and erasers of various shapes will come out.

Wei Bao took Deng Erxian, who refused to go to sleep, and asked people to make a whole bucket of erasers in the morning.

Whether pencils and erasers can make money or not, Wei Bao doesn't care very much, and the production of these things is mainly for the convenience of reading for the whole people.

Otherwise, more than 20,000 people will be literate, and there will be young adults and children who want to go to a higher level of study, and how much ink will it cost if they all use brush and paper? How much paper?

Even if Weijiazhuang already has its own paper mill, it can save money.

What's more, for the Ming Dynasty, which has inconvenient transportation and needs to go through layers of checkpoints for the circulation of goods, the cost of ink is very high.

Simplified Chinese characters and hard pen calligraphy are all aspects of Wei Bao's education that distinguish it from the education of this era.

With the eraser, making seals is a matter of course.

Most of the sealing rings can be satisfied with nitrile rubber, which is prepared by emulsion polymerization of butadiene and acrylonitrile, which is mainly produced by low-temperature emulsion polymerization, with excellent oil resistance, high wear resistance, good heat resistance and strong adhesion.

Its disadvantages are poor low temperature resistance, poor ozone resistance, poor electrical performance, and slightly lower elasticity. It is suitable for use in petroleum-based hydraulic oil, glycol-based hydraulic oil, diester lubricating oil, gasoline, water, silicone grease, silicone oil and other media.

It is the most versatile and lowest-cost rubber seal.

In addition to the general requirements of the sealing ring material, the sealing ring should be elastic and resilient, and have appropriate mechanical strength, including expansion strength, elongation and tear strength. The performance is stable, it is not easy to swell in the medium, and the heat shrinkage effect (Joule effect) is small.

It is easy to process and form, and can maintain precise dimensions. Does not corrode the contact surface and does not pollute the medium.

So most of the seals are made of rubber materials.

These are not the point, the point is that Weibao's various pipelines do not have to worry about the problem of sealing, and also completely solve the problem of low utilization rate of steam engines.

From a technical point of view, it only took Wei Bao two months to have the greatest technical support to open the industrial era.

"The performance is not enough, too soft, it is estimated that it will have to be replaced once in two or three months, which is not good, it must be used for at least ten years." Wei Bao put forward technical requirements for Deng Erxian.

Deng Erxian nodded in agreement.

Wei Bao is very satisfied with Deng Erxian's attitude, she seems to be born like a female warrior who doesn't know what difficulty is and will not be discouraged, always optimistic, and always knows how to move forward.

If it weren't for the fact that Deng Erxian was too much like a man and ugly, otherwise Wei Bao would have doubted that he was going to like Deng Erxian, and he really liked her personality.

Who says women aren't fit to be scientists?

Among so many cultivation objects, Wei Bao came into contact with them all and found that Deng Erxian was the most spiritual.

The pencil factory, eraser factory, and sealing ring factory can start trial operation.

Although it is a labor-intensive enterprise, it is not in high demand for the time being, and only a few dozen employees are needed.

Webel still needs more businesses.

Wei Bao put the next direction of tackling on the lighter, asked Deng Daliang to stop testing smokeless fire, and handed over the research and development of smokeless firewood to Deng Erxian.

Wei Bao felt that if the smokeless fire could be successfully tested, it would definitely be the credit of Deng Erxian.

Due to the simplicity of technical equipment and the low requirements for military weapons in this era, Wei Bao is not in a hurry to explore making guns, and if he can get grenades, he is basically invincible!

Wei Bao felt that the grenade was only a defensive weapon, useful in defense and attack, and it was useless when pursuing.

Given that the smokeless flame had not yet been successfully tested, he decided to start with the fuze first!

To be able to make a lighter, there are technical conditions for making a fuse.

Many times, the military industry and the civilian industry are inseparable.

In fact, civilian industry has always been carried forward by the military industry.

Every war can give birth to a bunch of scientific and technological progress, and war has always been the main theme in the progress of human society.

Although it is said that war is a vassal of politics and economy, every war determines the direction of politics and economy, and the winner is king, and the winner is qualified to designate rules.

If you can't win the war, it can only mean that the political form represented by this side is not good, or it is no longer good, it is outdated, or it has not accumulated the energy to change the world.

Wei Bao wanted to build a lighter, and there was another reason, because although the matches were very strong, in view of the fact that people in this era were accustomed to using primitive fire folds, it would be difficult for the poor to change their habits for a while, and there was no way to spend money on daily necessities when food and clothing could not be satisfied.

Matches, soap, are more for the use of the rich, so we need a kind of similar to the fire fold, but more scientific, more noble things to replace, and the matches will definitely be brought to the fire by the way.

Combining military needs and civilian needs, Weibao chose to develop lighters.

Soon after the world's first pistol was introduced, the first early lighter appeared, because it was made from a pistol, called a velvet pistol.

The lighter has long been used as a status symbol and office furnishings.

Modern lighters can be divided into liquid lighters and gas lighters according to the fuel used; According to the ignition method, it can be divided into grinding wheel lighter and electronic lighter.

The fuel used in lighters is mainly flammable gases.

In the early days, gasoline was mostly used, but because of the peculiar smell, it was rarely used in the later generations of Weibao. Butane, propane and petroleum liquefied gas are mostly used.

They are pressurized and charged into a closed air box, and once released into the air, they absorb heat and vaporize and expand rapidly, making them easily ignite.

Wei Bao does not have such a powerful gas sealing technology, so he can only choose an igniter with lower technical difficulty.

The ancients ignited fires either by rubbing, twisting, or drilling wood, or by striking each other with flints; Later, the pneumatic principle of ignition was also used - ignition pump or pneumatic igniter.

In the Middle Ages, the Frenchman Dumone referred to a pneumatic igniter with improved quality.

From the 14th or 15th century to the beginning of the 19th century, percussion igniters were already very popular.

At the end of the 17th century, a "Thuringian igniter" with velvet and sulfur matches appeared. In addition, there is the so-called "fuse igniter".

During World War II, ammunition specialists used the piezoelectric effect to detonate bombs.

Crystals like potassium sodium tartrate and some ceramics are installed on the front end of the bomb, and when subjected to a strong impact, a high-voltage charge will be generated instantaneously to detonate the explosive.

After the war, Japan successfully used the piezoelectric effect on lighters, generating a high voltage of 6,000-8,000 volts in 30,000 or 40,000 per second, so that the generated sparks ignited butane, eliminating the need for dry batteries or flint.

What Wei Bao wants to do is this kind of oil cotton lighter, with gasoline as fuel, steel wheel friction carbide fire, this kind of lighter in Wei Bao's later generations has tended to be eliminated, only antique lovers will collect.

There are many antiques from the late Qing Dynasty to the post-World War II on the Zhenyuan ship, and the oil cotton lighter is also one of them.

The only thing that makes Wei Bao angry is that there are a lot of military products on the Zhenyuan ship, but they are all used for filming, not real guns and cannons, real grenades and grenades, and there are many grenadier canisters, and models of light mortars, all of which are just appearances.

If there were ready-made models of fuzes, he wouldn't have to bother with them.

"Imitate with this." Wei Bao lit a cotton lighter in his hand and said to Deng Erxian and several blacksmiths from the Military Industry Bureau.

Several people stared wide-eyed at the 'miracle' that happened in Childe's hands.

Although they have been in contact with the manufacture of matches, the friction of matches and fires is still within the scope of their cognition, and things like Childe that can catch fire with a single click are much more magical than matches.

A few people agreed, and then looked around the delicate iron box.

Wei Bao has a set of tools to disassemble the lighter step by step with the thinnest Phillips screws, and draw drawings while dismantling: "Every part must be imitated in place." ”

Wei Bao said as he was studying, thinking about the fuse that triggered the fire, knowing that if this problem was not solved, even if there was a smokeless flame in the future, it would not be possible to produce qualified bullets, shells, and grenades.

You can't just light a fire with a lead and throw it out, right?

If you want to do it yourself, you must do it with breech-loading guns and breech-loading guns.

It is impossible to be stupid to be the same as the backward thermal weapons of this era, and what kind of bird guns, Shenwu cannons, Shenji cannons, red-clothed cannons, these bulky guys.

Even if large-caliber artillery is needed, it must be the breech-loading gun route.

There has to be a spiral ballistic rifling kind.

Although he has not been in contact with it, Wei Bao still understands some principles, and the antique models on the Zhenyuan ship are completely correct, and the appearance, scale and size are in line with the historical prototype.

It's just that it's only used for filming film and television works, and sometimes it's rented by various crews, so it's mostly empty shelves that only emit fire and smoke, and there are no core key components at all, and all the empty shells are used for effects.

In addition to the development of lighters, Wei Bao also asked Deng Erxian to improve the sealing ring while developing smokeless fires, and to develop water-absorbing holsters in fountain pens and dyes for dyeing cloth.

These belong to the chemical industry, Weijiazhuang already has a population of more than 20,000, so many people, need to be self-sufficient, can no longer rely on the outside world to purchase food and cloth.

Now that there is plenty of food, there is no shortage of warm and ugly clothes.

Otherwise, many people are still in the form of called Hanako, and they can't even cover the key parts, which is not good.

Ballpoint pens are cheaper and cheaper than fountain pens, but Wei Bao knows that ballpoint pens are more technically difficult, at least in terms of the technology in front of him.

The biggest challenge in making a ballpoint pen is the nib, and even if you make a direct transition to a gel pen, the nib is still difficult.

The gel pen has the advantages of both a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen, the writing feel is comfortable, the ink viscosity is low, and the increase is easy to lubricate the substance, the viscosity of the writing medium is between water and oil, so it is smoother than the ordinary oil-based ballpoint pen, and it is an upgraded product of the oil-based ballpoint pen.

There are two types of gel pen nib sizes: 1.0mm and 0.5mm.

Although there is a complete set of small lathes for making substitute parts on the Zhenyuan ship, punching machines, milling machines, grinding machines, and drilling machines, Wei Bao knows that he is at that level, and it is possible for him to make the nib of a gel pen?

If he doesn't, he has no way to tell these blacksmiths of this era what to do, he himself can at least give everyone a sample first, and as for technology upgrades, he can rely on others.

Anyway, no one can help replace his pioneering role.

After Wei Bao himself settled in the Military Industry Bureau, the group of Deng Daliang and Deng Erxian became the main force among the three groups, and the other two groups became vassals and auxiliaries.

Of the newly added 100 people, in addition to one dead, more than 60 people were added to Deng Daliang's group.

Everyone received the task, and Wei Bao began to return to what he had agreed with Wang Qiuya before, working two hours a day.

He asked people to move all the launder's equipment that needed electricity to the water station in Warship Bay.

Generators for water stations.

Wei Bao was next to the generator and asked people to build an all-concrete structure building as a precision workshop.

It is used to store those lathe equipment.

Webbo every day.

An hour is used to deal with these lathe equipment.

Another hour will be given to deal with the Secretariat's official letters that need to be reviewed for correction.

Of course, Wei Baoguang is a lathe, and it takes several hours to go from not being able to understand anything to understanding the principle a little.

This is all unconsciously passed time, although Wang Qiuya has been instructed before, when it comes to an hour, she has to ask her son to rest, but every time she looks at her son's attentive appearance, she knows that it is useless to scream, and if she doesn't do it, she will make her unhappy and scolded, so she just accompanies her silently every time.

Fortunately, in Wei Bao's information, one of the three 'keen crossing giant' brothers, Wei Bao judged that he was a brother who studied science, and collected a lot of various parameter data and formulas about Seiko equipment.

Otherwise, just by thinking like this, Wei Bao is pondering for a hundred years, even if there are ready-made tools, it is in vain.

He knows that he is not a genius, for science, that is, he can barely get close to the passing level, and he has no factory work experience, where can he figure it out?

Just for lathes and lathes, there is a calculation software, if it is converted into a book, there must be a thick book, a lot of formula calculation methods.

Wei Bao gave himself the problem of a screw out of the car.

There are standard controls.

But two whole days have passed, Wei Bao just outlined the car, the threads on it, and the sharp corners of the screws, still can't find a way at all, and he is anxious to sleep thinking about the lathe work.

However, the people from the Military Industry Agency, through manual work, actually got out the pens and lighters.

Wei Bao was amazed by the superb skills of the craftsmen of this era, and it was possible to rely entirely on handwork.

In Deng Erxian's laboratory, Wei Bao looked at a dozen samples of two things and was amazed.

However, he knew that manual work was not mainstream and could not be adapted to industrial production.

To find so many high-level craftsmen and feed them, how much can be made by manual production alone?

What's more, industrial production cannot only train high-level craftsmen, but also have ordinary workers to participate, these are people who have blacksmith experience, if a weak woman, from scratch, into a qualified craftsman, how young is it?

The fountain pen holds the ink through a hollow barrel, and is written by gravity and capillary action before being written through a duckbill-like nib.

The ink of the fountain pen can be refilled, usually using a vial or straw such as eye drops.

The nib of the fountain pen, arguably the most critical part of the fountain pen, varies from thin to thick.

Wei Bao only wrote a few words, and it felt okay.

But as I wrote, I felt that the nib was a little deformed.

"Don't do it just yet, you have to solve the problem of nibs and ink first." Wei Bao found the problem: "The ink contains a small amount of sulfuric acid, but this corrosive sulfuric acid poses a serious threat to the fountain pen. If the nib is made of ordinary steel, it cannot withstand the corrosion of sulfuric acid and will not last long. Stainless steel. ”

Wei Bao was stunned to find that the idea was good, but he did not have the technology to develop stainless steel for the time being, because even the steel factory did not know that Ma Yue could make it in the Year of the Monkey.

I envy those giants who cross the sky with a system or something, poof, and something suddenly came out.

However, Wei Bao didn't care much about the fact that the fountain pen technology had not passed, mainly because he had not thought of the technical requirements of the fountain pen nib before.

Fortunately, there are pencils and erasers, which does not affect the learning of more than 20,000 'students' in Weijiazhuang.

"Childe, what about these lighters?" Deng Daliang asked.

Wei Bao tried the lighter and it was very good.

Although it was handmade, it had the same effect as the antique lighter he got from the Zhenyuan ship, and when it was loaded with gasoline.

"Lighters do! However, you can't just do it by hand, you all try to use tools, use equipment, and more people who don't have blacksmith experience can participate in production. Wei Bao instructed: "With 10 ordinary people as a unit, the output of 10 people in a month needs to reach 100 such lighters, and they must be of good quality in order to form an enterprise." ”

A group of blacksmiths from the Military Industry Administration fell into thinking, these parts are all polished by hand, so that ordinary people can participate in production, how easy is it to say?

Seeing everyone like this, Wei Bao was not anxious, and took them to the Seiko workshop he set up next to the Warship Bay Water Station.

"These equipment are all equipment used to process various components." Wei Bao said to everyone.

He no longer had to worry about explaining where these things came from, these people were not Wei Dakang and Huang Ying, not a hundred thousand whys, if he didn't let him ask, they wouldn't ask, he just had to listen to himself.

Everyone seemed to be looking at rare treasures, watching in circles one by one, and Deng Erxian's eyes lit up in surprise.

Wei Bao said after explaining the approximate purpose of these equipment one by one: "When we have our own steel, we must be able to industrialize the replication of these equipment, and use these equipment to train more skilled workers in single operations." In this way, ordinary people can do things alone as long as they do an internship for a month or two. And the parts made by all people are exactly the same, which is considered industrial production. ”

The reason why modern industry is different from factory handicraft is that machines play a major role.

It was only after the tool was changed from a tool of the human body to a tool of a mechanical device, that is, a tool of the machine tool, that the engine achieved an independent form that was completely free from the limitations of manpower. As a result, a single machine tool is reduced to a simple element of machine production.

In contrast to the workshop handicrafts, the development of the machine system is divided into two stages.

In the first stage, there is "simple collaboration", i.e. simply the "assembly" of "machines of the same species and working together at the same time" in the factory, which use a single source of power.

In the second stage, there is an "organized machine system", in which the product is transferred from one production stage to another through the continuous handover of work between the various local machines.

When this organized system is perfected and the entire production process can be carried out under the watchful eye of a worker, it becomes an "automatic machine system".

Because instead of taking his own conceptual boat to fight in the sea and ocean, Wei Bao deliberately isolated Weijiazhuang from the outside world and created a 'lake' by himself, so that the route of industrialization could move in this lake.

Therefore, Wei Bao is not in a hurry, and he is not in a hurry to take one step into place.

Let's introduce these devices and blueprints to everyone first.

The transformation of a hand-operated tool into a machine tool reduces the worker to "merely" a source of power, and with the expansion of production and the limitation of human physical strength, it is necessary to replace human muscles with a mechanical power.

Under the factory system, all machines are powered by a single "power", the steam engine.

The steam engine existed long before the advent of modern industry, but it did not cause the Industrial Revolution.

On the contrary, it was the creation of the machine tool that made the revolution of the steam engine necessary.

An important impetus for the improvement of the steam engine was the need for new means of transportation in modern industry.

Ocean-going and inland waterway steamers, railways, and telegraph systems all require "huge machines" to build, and machines like steam hammers, drilling machines, and mechanical lathes require a large machine that can be completely controlled by man.

Initial factories, such as the one built in the British colony in 1771, did not have large-scale automated machines.

At that time, factories were purely for a large group of workers engaged in handicrafts, such as textiles, to gather and produce together.

This makes the process easier to manage and the raw materials can be distributed more efficiently.

In Britain around 1840, factories that mainly produced machines largely replaced manual factories.

It was not until after the invention of machinery such as the steam engine and the automatic loom that factories began to produce with machines.

Machinery and replaceable parts make production more efficient and waste less.

Henry Ford, the founder of the American Ford Company, created a mass production model and production line at the beginning of the 20th century.

It has taken another step forward in the development of the factory.

This model is characterized by the fact that each group of workers is responsible for only one process in the production of a product.

It greatly reduced the cost of production and laid the foundation for the later era of consumption.

"Let's discuss and study how to copy some simple equipment, so that these simple industrial products we develop can reach the standard of quantification and unification as soon as possible." Wei Bao finally said: "In the future, I will fix a fixed time every day, come here to study and research, and fix an hour during the day every day." ”

After everyone agreed, they all felt their blood boiling, and it seemed that President Wei had something to learn here.

Wei Bao left Deng Daliang and Deng Erxian, as well as several people from the main military industry bureau, to discuss the issue of textiles and dyes.

Wei Bao is very clear that as soon as the textile industry is opened, it can immediately solve the problem that there are still some relatively outstanding people who need to be arranged to enter the worker group.

His plan was to arrange more than a thousand more people, and clothing was a big problem.

Although the textile industry in later generations, it was basically dominated by the south bank of the Yangtze River, because of the problem of materials.

But in this era, because of traffic problems, it was also necessary to build a large-scale textile, dyeing and weaving enterprise in the north.

In particular, his Weijiazhuang is set to be isolated from the outside world, to be completely satisfied with self-sufficiency, and to spread industrial products to the outside world.

This makes Wei Bao unable to avoid the textile part.

In fact, eating and dressing, in the era of agriculture and feudal society, was originally self-sufficient in each place.

The people of each place eat the grain they grow and wear the cloth they make.

Moreover, this area of Beizhili, including western Liaoning, was originally a concentrated production area of Daming cotton.

Close to Mongolia, you can get a lot of wool and fur.

In addition to the fact that silk is not easy to make, Wei Bao has never thought about what silk to make, only to ask for a large amount!

If you can, it is best to develop chemical fiber products, then it will be invincible.

People in this era only want to have clothes to wear, only to be cheap, and cheap is always king.

When Wei Bao recommended new products, he found this key, even if he was rich and had a small amount of demand for high-end goods, he also recognized the price as cheap.

So there's no problem with the material.

"Childe, I have to find someone who specializes in this." Deng Erxian reminded: "What kind of loom does Gongzi want to develop, we can help together." I can also find a way to develop dyes, because we are already able to make acids directly. ”

"Well, what you're saying is, I'm confused." Wei Bao smiled, and then said to a few people: "Go to the guest house for a meeting in the afternoon." ”

After a few people left.

Wei Bao asked Wang Qiuya to inform the people of the Statistics Bureau, and in the afternoon, all those with experience in weaving and dyeing cloth would gather for a meeting.

"Childe, I'm afraid that women have experience in this area, and I also have it, who doesn't weave and dye cloth by themselves?" Wang Qiuya said.

Wei Bao smiled: "Okay, then find all the women for a meeting, send back the more than 1,000 people who are going to be absorbed into the factory, and let them go to various construction firms to find a career on their own." ”

Wang Qiuya sighed, secretly wondering why the son said to change it, thinking that one is one play?

Wei Bao didn't intend to turn people into workers casually, and Weijiazhuang's system is free capitalism, and there is no shortage of jobs, and each business is also composed of ordinary people through loans from Tiandi firms, and the flow of personnel is very flexible.

Anyway, you can come as you like.

At that time, these light industries will be opened to the society step by step, and they only need to pay him the patent fee of the 'inventor'.

More than 1,000 people came in the afternoon, all women, many of whom were women who had not found the right thing to do, or who could not do the heavy work of construction.

The topic of Wei Bao's meeting was mainly around machine weaving, machine dyeing, and discussing the establishment of textile factories.

Let them sit in on the hearing, mainly to see if there are people with brains who can provide ideas.

And told them that the conditions for entering the factory as a worker were that they had to pass the literacy test of the literacy class before the textile factory and the dyeing factory were set up, and that there could not be any illiterate person in the factory.

Hearing Wei Gongzi say this, everyone was very nervous.

Wei Dakang, Huang Ying and a few followers who followed them also rushed to join in the fun to see what Wei Bao was doing after not seeing him for a few days.

Wei Dakang and Huang Ying are concerned about their son, and Wang Zhihui and his wife are concerned about Wang Qiuya.

Fan Lao Pimple and his wife were a little lost, naturally because Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui were by Wei Bao's side, and Fan Xiaolin was not there.
